Mary's Meals

serves nutritious school meals to more than 2.4 million children in 17 of the world’s poorest countries. The promise of a daily meal attracts hungry children into the classroom where they gain an education and hope for a brighter future. 

Serving food and hope

Serving food and hope
It costs less than £20 to feed a child with Mary’s Meals every day for a school year.  As an organisation working in the world’s poorest communities, the charity keeps its running costs low to maximise the good it can do with the donations entrusted to it. 

A future filled with promise

A future filled with promise
Mary’s Meals influence the lives of children by supporting them to access and progress within education. Research from schools in across Africa showed 98% of children felt they could concentrate after a meal was served, as opposed to 36% beforehand.

Meet Bernadette
Growing up, Bernadette had very little food at home which affected her learning in the classroom. But thanks to the introduction of Mary’s Meals and her own determination, Bernadette is now a qualified teacher working in the school she went to.
